Hong Kong film: Starts with a ghost on his back, his henchmen are all underworld minions.

"All of you, get him! Take him down!" the leader of the burly men shouted.

"Hehe, enough nonsense, then come on!"

Su Zhe was not to be outdone, and kicked one of his underlings flying far away.

Immediately, the forces of the Sanlian Gang and the Black Dragon Society clashed once again in a life-or-death battle.

Swords flashed, blood splattered, and the scene was incredibly tragic.

The Sanlian Gang suffered heavy casualties, with many of its members lying in pools of blood. The remaining members were still fighting hard, but were clearly at a disadvantage.

The Black Dragon Society's underlings were smug and divided into several groups to besiege the Triad, advancing step by step.

"Die, you Triad trash!"

A burly Black Dragon Society underling roared and slashed at the neck of a Triad gang member.

Just then, a figure rushed into the fray like lightning, kicking the henchman away so that he crashed heavily onto the concrete ground.

"Who?!" The Black Dragon Society members looked over suspiciously.

The newcomer was none other than Su Zhe, followed by two formidable generals, Feng Yuxiu and Yu Huatian.

"Who do you think you are, daring to get involved in this mess?" the Black Dragon Society's underling roared in anger.

"Enough with the nonsense, go eat shit!"

Su Zhe shouted in a deep voice, and in a flash, he was in front of the leader, punching him so hard that his teeth fell to the ground.

Su Zhe's sudden appearance greatly boosted the morale of the Sanlian Gang, allowing them to regain the initiative.

Su Zhe charged left and right, his punches landing with tremendous force, each blow causing the Black Dragon Society underlings' brains to splatter.

Feng Yuxiu and Yu Huatian also attacked at the same time. Feng Yuxiu's Iron Mountain Lean hit his two underlings and seriously injured them!

Yu Huatian moved with lightning speed, striking out with each palm strike, showing no mercy, each blow sending his underlings flying far away.

"Ah—help!"

"These three monsters are terrifying! Run!"

The Black Dragon Society's underlings screamed in agony as they scrambled to escape, resulting in a complete rout.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the henchman could only grit his teeth and shout, "Damn it, these guys are too strong! Retreat!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining members of the Black Dragon Society dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.

With the help of Su Zhe and others, the Sanlian Gang finally managed to defend this core territory in the East District. Su Zhe's timely arrival saved the Sanlian Gang from imminent annihilation.

The Sanlian Gang members were overjoyed and extremely grateful to Su Zhe.

Su Zhe nodded calmly, watching the Black Dragon Society underlings flee in a sorry state, silently planning his next move.

This struggle is far from over, and the outcome is far from decided...

Ding Yao breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that the Sanlian Gang had survived, and secretly thanked Su Zhe for his help.

Although the Black Dragon Society's surprise attack failed, it severely weakened the Triad.

Ding Yao knew that the struggle between the two gangs had only just begun, and it would only become more intense and complicated in the future.

But she had to be careful and also guard against Su Zhe, lest he take advantage of her and try to control the Sanlian Gang.

This struggle has only just begun!

Ding Yao sat behind her desk, listening to her underling's report with a livid expression.

Chapter 190 The Decision to Take a Gamble

"Boss, the casino in Tin Hau was robbed by the triads again last night. All the security guards inside were killed, and cash and gambling equipment were stolen."

"Also, our warehouse at the dock was burned down by the Red Alliance gang, and they smashed and stole all the goods stored inside."

"The nightclubs in the North District were smashed up by the Blue Path Gang. Our girls have all been taken to be their companions. Now the nightclubs have become Blue Path Gang territory..."

As her underlings reported on recent events one by one, Ding Yao's expression grew increasingly grim.

Since she took over as the head of the Sanlian Gang, the Black Dragon Society has seized the opportunity to launch a frenzied retaliation, attacking the Sanlian Gang's territories and businesses one after another.

Other gangs, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed in and continuously encroached on the territory of the Sanlian Gang.

The Sanlian Gang has suffered heavy casualties and is finding it difficult to organize effective resistance.

They could only watch helplessly as other gangs took over their territory and business.

"You bunch of incompetent teammates! You don't even have the most basic territorial defense and counter-attack capabilities!"

Ding Yao slammed his fist on the table in anger and cursed his underlings mercilessly.

The underlings trembled and dared not utter a sound, lowering their heads.

Ding Yao knew that the key issue was that she had just taken office and lacked influence; many senior members and junior members of the Sanlian Gang were not yet convinced that she, a woman, was the leader.

If the internal situation cannot be stabilized and the fighting strength of the Sanlian Gang cannot be improved as soon as possible, the situation of being devoured by other gangs will only become more and more serious.

After pondering for a moment, Ding Yao finally hardened her heart and decided to personally go to Su Zhe to discuss countermeasures.

Su Zhe's strength has been proven. If we can win him over, we might be able to reverse the current passive situation of the Sanlian Gang.

Thinking of this, Ding Yao immediately instructed her subordinates to prepare a car, and then drove all the way to the hotel where Su Zhe was staying.

Ten minutes later, Ding Yao's car arrived in front of a luxury hotel.

Ding Yao took a deep breath, got out of the car, and strode into the hotel lobby. (bibh)

The receptionist trembled with fear upon seeing the menacing Ding Yao: "Dragon... Dragon Head, what are your orders?"

"Which room is Su Zhe staying in?" Ding Yao asked coldly.

"Mr. Su is staying in the presidential suite on the top floor," the receptionist answered timidly.

Ding Yao turned and walked towards the elevator.

Inside the presidential suite on the top floor, Su Zhe was playing chess and adjusting his breathing with his subordinates Feng Yuxiu and Yu Huatian.

Just then, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Ding Yao strode in.

"Su Zhe, I have a favor to ask!" Ding Yao said bluntly.

Su Zhe looked up at her with a slight smile: "What brings the head of the Sanlian Gang to visit us personally?"

Ding Yao took a deep breath and then recounted the recent predicament of the Sanlian Gang: their territory was being eroded, their businesses were being plundered, and they were suffering repeated defeats.

"If this continues, the Sanlian Gang will eventually be divided up by other triads."

Ding Yao said, "That's why I came to you to discuss countermeasures and see if you can lend a helping hand again!"

Su Zhe remained silent after hearing this, scrutinizing Ding Yao with a critical gaze.

Ding Yao felt uneasy under his gaze, but she still straightened her back and met his eyes directly.

After a long pause, Su Zhe slowly spoke: "You've just taken over as the head of the Sanlian Gang, facing difficulties both internally and externally, which I understand. But why should I help you?"

Ding Yao's heart tightened; she knew Su Zhe was testing her limits.

Ding Yao took a deep breath and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "The Sanlian Gang is willing to split the profits 50/50 with you, you get half of the gains!"

Su Zhe laughed: "A 50/50 split? I'm not interested in the money. But your willingness to agree is a good start."

Ding Yao's heart leaped into her throat: "Then what do you want?"

Su Zhe narrowed his eyes: "I want... the Triads must swear allegiance to me personally!"

"What?!" Ding Yao's face turned pale instantly: "This is too much!"

"Then you'd better pray for yourself," Su Zhe said coldly.

Ding Yao felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She knew she had no other choice, otherwise the Sanlian Gang would surely be destroyed.

"Okay... alright, as long as you can save the Triad from this predicament, I can accept the Triad swearing allegiance to you personally." Ding Yao finally managed to squeeze out these words.

Su Zhe smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, you know your limits. I promise to help you stabilize the situation of the Sanlian Gang and make other gangs leave empty-handed."

Ding Yao breathed a sigh of relief and stood up: "Then I will go back now and convene a meeting of the Sanlian Gang's top leaders to formally swear allegiance to you."

"Go ahead," Su Zhe waved his hand.

Ding Yao turned and left the suite.

Her high heels made a dull thud on the carpet.

As she reached the elevator, she suddenly turned around and said to Su Zhe, "But don't forget, I am still the head of the Sanlian Gang!"

After saying that, she stepped into the elevator without looking back.

Su Zhe stared thoughtfully at the closed elevator doors.

Upon returning to the Sanlian Gang headquarters, Ding Yao immediately ordered an emergency meeting to be convened with all the hall masters and red sticks.

"What? Swear allegiance to an outsider?" The crowd erupted in uproar after hearing Ding Yao's order.

"I'd rather die than do that!" a gang leader with a face full of tattoos and a muscular face jumped up and roared.

"How can we, the Triads, bow down to an outsider!"

"Yes, yes, everyone is against it!"

A heated debate erupted in the conference room.
